Drive a Senior ATX
Building Relationships One Ride at a Time
Drive a Senior ATX enables older adults to live independently, avoid social isolation and age in place by providing free, volunteer-based transportation and other support services to senior adults in Austin since 1985, including
- Daily rides to medical appointments and errands,
- Weekly rides to HEB for groceries,
- Monthly rides for social outings and events,
- As needed handyman services, tech assistance, and social visits.
Our mission is transportation, but our impact is relationships. Our volunteer-based rides come with care, empathy, and inclusion. Our clients are treated like family and build meaningful relationships with our staff and volunteers.
First UU is a founding congregation of Drive a Senior, originally called North Central Caregivers. Our congregation formerly contributed annually to its work and has provided many volunteers since its inception in 1985.
